Searching For Spring is a play on the four seasons and how we can experience life in seasons. It's a reminder that there must always be an end to the trouble-less, "mountaintop" moments in life. And that there will always be a death, a renewing and a new growing season. Based on the bo...

We long for:
The groom to return for his bride;

I loved everything about this book! My soul has found so much joy through reading this during the actual season of winter - and through a degree of spiritual winter as well. Chrisitine understands and communicates so clearly and creatively that beauty is more beautiful contrasted with ...

This is a beautiful and beautifully written book. This book is a mash-up of Frederich Buechner and N.D. Wilson, which means it is creative writing to tell a compelling story. I love it. And I think others will as well. Hope is active, and it is to be found for those who know how to wai...

This was a really good read. The author, Christine, is a Pastor?s wife. She?s a mom. She starts the book based on a question her young son asks her about life.

Once I got into this book I really loved it. I read Christine Hoover's other books...on being a friend, on being a pastor's wife, but this book was different as it was more reflective. Truth was told through story and examples and thoughts. It was different for me but I liked it for th...
